Exploring the Dual Nature of Laziness: Intelligence or Inaction?


Exploring the Dual Nature of Laziness: Intelligence or Inaction?

Laziness has been a concept with a dual-edged set of perspectives. On one side, it is the absence of prompt actions; on the other, we keep hearing the claim that “laziness is associated with the intelligence of a person.” Before we delve further, it is necessary to note that words on their own do not bear any meaning; they would be just a set of unarranged letters if I typed ‘sdfkfnsklgnlkasgf,’ or maybe the term that Biden used to explain America in one word, as you may know. This leads to the perspective that words have meaning only when arranged in an order. Still, I think the equation is incomplete. Even if we know the word, it wouldn’t mean anything in two cases: if we don’t know its meaning, or even if we know it but can’t relate to it.

 

That being said, if I say, “thou art my reason to love,” it wouldn’t mean anything until you relate it to yourself. Now, the problem with this output is that it is already defined. We think words are already defined for us; we just need to use them in context. Rather, I think it is making us lose our touch with our thinking capacity to articulate thoughts, as we search for new perspectives with a limited set of words or language for thoughts that are incomprehensible.

 

I believe it is making us lazy in fact, to understand that if the founder of the word assigned this meaning to it, what was his thought process? How would we construct it or process it as individuals with a whole new mindset? Lastly, why would we even do it? Just because we are lazy.
